NAS not found
Since two days I have a Netgear Orbi up and running. The WIFI-coverage is improved dramatically, but I have some problems finding my NAS in my homenetwork.
In my old setup I had a Experiabox modem with a TP-link router who delivered the wifi-coverage. The NAS was wired to the TP-link.
In the new setup the NAS is directly wired to the Experiabox-modem and the Netgear Orbi is wired to the Experiabox through to a switch in the living room.
I'm living in the Netherlands, so any Dutchies outthere can discuss with me in our native language. I read something about connection problems which were solved by switching off some router settings and letting the orbi work as an accesspoint, but I don'nt know how to get into the orbi's settings. The app I have don't let me get into any settings at all....???....

Yes you can turn the Orbi into an access point. To log into the Orbi you need to go to this address from a computer:
Then go into advanced tab, Advanced settings setup menu, router / ap mode. See the image below:
